IQOS ORIGINALS DUO Kit, Scarlet - Heat Not Burn Device Alternative to Smoking Heated Tobacco. Device Only -No Heated Tobacco Sticks & No Nicotine included

Product Information

IQOS heated tobacco is designed for adult smokers only; like vaping, we encourage users not to use these devices if they do not already smoke. That said, IQOS produces 95% less harmful chemicals compared to cigarettes, including 98% less carbon monoxide (CO). These figures do not represent reductions in risk; smoking alternatives are not risk-free. If you usually smoke after meals, eat foods that can make cigarettes taste bad like cheese, fruit and vegetables. Or change your routine to keep your mind busy when you would usually smoke, like washing the dishes straight after eating.

Randomised (2:1:1 ratio) to use an electronic HTP, continue smoking cigarettes, or become abstinent Other instructions and details: CHTP products were provided to participants randomised to heated tobacco arm

Data source: sales data from Intage Inc., a market research company that collects monthly sales data from supermarkets and convenience stores As an electronic device which heats tobacco rather than burning it, IQOS produces no smoke, no ash and less smell than cigarettes. As there is no lit end, there is no risk of burning furniture or others around you. NCT01989156. Reduced exposure study using THS 2.2 menthol with 5 days in a confinement setting followed by 86 days in an ambulatory setting. clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01989156 (first received 20 November 2013). Behavioural support: provided information about HTP. Compensated for recording use of nicotine and tobacco products in interactive voice recording system diarySafety outcomes: biomarkers of toxicant and carcinogen exposure; adverse events; serious adverse events Quote: "All authors are or were Philip Morris International (PMI) R&D employees or worked for PMI R&D under contractual agreements".

Important Information: It does not necessarily equal a 95% reduction in risk. IQOS is not risk-free. Vaping Safety data came from a wide range of locations across Europe, Asia, and North America. Conversely, both time‐series studies used data from a single country (Japan), which limits the generalisability of conclusions. For instance, Japan differs from many countries because it is illegal to sell nicotine e‐cigarettes unless they are registered as a pharmaceutical product. This may have left a gap in the market for heated tobacco. Wang TW, Marynak KL, Gentzke AS, King BA. Awareness and Ever Use of Heated Tobacco Products Among U.S. Adults, 2018. Poster presented at: Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco Annual Meeting; February 2019; San Francisco. Heated tobacco probably exposes people to fewer toxins than cigarettes, but possibly more than not using any tobacco. Falls in cigarette sales appeared to speed up following the launch of heated tobacco in Japan, but we are uncertain whether this is caused by people switching from cigarettes to heated tobacco.Safety outcomes: biomarkers of toxicant and carcinogen exposure; biomarkers of harm; adverse events; serious adverse events When you’re out, hold your drink with the hand that used to hold cigarettes and use a straw. This will help to keep your hands and mouth busy.

Stephens says there are still a lot of unanswered questions about the short and long-term health impacts of using heated tobacco, and that longer-term studies are needed. But even if these products are less harmful than cigarettes, he wouldn’t recommend them. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Behavioural support: 5 days in a clinic setting, where product use was monitored. Record use of nicotine and tobacco products in electronic diary. Carbon monoxide breath tests were used to assess compliance Tobacco industry funded: quote: "Philip Morris International is the sole source of funding and sponsor of this project". Heated tobacco products are designed to heat tobacco to a high enough temperature to release vapour, without burning it or producing smoke. They differ from e‐cigarettes because they heat tobacco leaf/sheet rather than a liquid. Many of the harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke are created by burning tobacco. So heating not burning tobacco could reduce the amount of chemicals a user ingests. Some people report stopping smoking cigarettes entirely by switching to using heated tobacco.

Blue, Green, Turquoise, Mauve and Sienna Caps HEETS are considered menthol tobacco flavours, as the predominant flavour note is mint or menthol. Blue are the traditional menthol flavour, while Mauve, Green and Turquoise incorporate notes of mint, fruit or citrus for a more nuanced and minty taste. Our protocol did not specify how we would pool studies reporting mixtures of arithmetic and geometric means ( Tattan‐Birch 2020). We updated the methods to note that, following guidance from Higgins 2008, we would convert all results onto the natural log scale before pooling. They are tobacco products and we do know the long-term effects of tobacco, including at least 15 types of cancer,” says Stephens.

How popular is heated tobacco?

The vapour contains nicotine, the addictive chemical used in cigarettes. E-cigarettes don’t burn tobacco and they don’t produce tar or carbon monoxide. Instructions for smoking cessation/switching: continue smoking Marlboro cigarettes for study period Biomarkers can be used to measure exposure to these harmful toxicants and carcinogens. Important exposure biomarkers include: 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanol (NNAL), a marker of tobacco‐specific N‐nitrosamine exposure that is linked to numerous cancers ( IARC 2012); 1‐hydroxypyrene(1‐OHP) and 1‐ and 2‐naphthol, indicators of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that are associated with cancers and kidney and liver damage; 3‐hydroxypropylmercapturic acid (3‐HPMA), a marker of exposure to acrolein that is linked to respiratory disease ( Yeager 2016); and carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb), a measure of recent carbon monoxide (CO) intake. Details about these and other exposure biomarkers are available in Appendix 1. So far there’s no evidence that switching to heated tobacco products helps people to quit cigarette smoking. Both heated tobacco and vaping are better alternatives to smoking and use electronic devices, the main difference between heated tobacco and vaping is what is used with the device itself. Heated tobacco is an alternative to smoking which uses real tobacco, whilst e-cigarettes contain no tobacco and use liquids instead.
